WormMine: Phenotype WBPhenotype:0000430 male copulatory structure development variant

• Description: Any variation in the progression of the specialized structures of the male tail which allow the animal to sense the presence of the hermaphrodite, search her body for the vulval opening, grasp onto the vulva, and to transfer sperm over time from its formation to its mature structure compared to control (Wormatlas).

WBPhenotype:0000432	male copulatory structure absent	Animals lack the specialized structures of the male tail which allow the animal to sense the presence of the hermaphrodite, search her body for the vulval opening, grasp onto the vulva, and to transfer sperm (Wormatlas).
WBPhenotype:0001487	male spicule development variant	Animals exhibit variations in the development of the male elongated sclerotized structures covered by a hardened layer of cuticle in the tail (which are actively everted during copulation to fasten the male copulatory fan to the vulva) compared to control.
